February Haul + Winter Wedding Wear

Now that it's Spring, I feel like it's time for a fresh change and am really feeling the colors olive and melon right now. :)

Although it's finally Spring, it still feels like winter out though you can surely tell the weather is slowly getting warmer, unlike the weather two weekends ago when I attended a friend's wedding. I thought the weather would be nice but it was extremely cold that night, leaving me worrying over what to wear - tights or no tights? I was still debating this question a mere three hours before the wedding when I realized I had purchased a floor-length dress that would be perfect! I bought it all the way back in November 2015 when I posted about it here and berated myself for not getting it shortened after I bought it but was so lucky my local tailor was able to do it in an hour!

It's perfect for a cold weather wedding because it's long and because of the length, I decided to wear a short leather jacket topped with a fur vest to balance out the proportions. Though it was cold out, I felt perfectly warm in this so I should try to layer more often! A longer styled coat would be too much on my small frame and to stay extra warm in the car, I wore a blanket scarf that I did not take with me inside.

I also randomly received a gift card from J.Crew and also one from Barneys that I used to get this Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Cardholder, which I'm loving more than my Chanel one now. I have no idea why I was lucky enough to receive these but I'm not complaining!

I'm finally done with exhausting all the options of Canada Goose coats and have to say that the Fusion Fit is definitely made to perfectly fit petites. Out of the three that I tried on, the Rossclair, Shelburne, and Trillium, they all have the perfect sleeve length but the hoods are all still too big in proportion and cover my whole face when worn.

The Canada Goose Shelburne Parka Fusion Fit is the only one of the three that does not have an adjustable bungee cord at the inner waist so the shape of this one is much more boxy. The sleeves of this one are also a bit longer than the others, though still much better than the regular fit as shown here. I liked this one the least of …

I went a bit overboard as mentioned in this post and actually ordered every single Canada Goose jacket I could find that came in size XXS. I wanted to leave no stone unturned and be absolutely sure of the style I keep since it is such a pricey yet worthy investment. I already tried on the Canada Goose Victoria and Mystique as shown here so without further ado, here are the rest:

The Canada Goose Beechwood was the one I actually saw in store in Bloomingdale's and was drawn to immediately because it looks small on the hanger due to the drawstring waist. This was by far my favorite of all the ones I tried on, though A and a good friend both told me they felt it made me look like I had a pouch, which means I looked pregnant! That made me a bit doubtful but in the end, I do definitely prefer it to the Victoria because it really does fit a bit smaller, despite the pouch, which may be due to the pockets (which I absolutely love because they're so cozily lined with fleece!). The hood …

Knowing this year will be very cold and how my North Face 'Alana Boots' from three years ago didn't quite hold up in cold temperatures, I decided to try Sorel's boots.

I headed to the store thinking I would purchase the Tivoli II Boots in Quarry but was very surprised to realize I liked the Tivoli High II Boots in Curry much more on me, which is also good because the extra height adds a lot of warmth. :)

I was very surprised because I thought the shorter one would look better but in actuality, the taller version helps to elongate my legs more.

I got to test it out over the past few days when it started to snow and they're definitely super warm and will protect against the elements so I am extremely happy with this purchase, which was cataloged here. I definitely recommend Sorel boots for cold temps and love that they're also waterproof too. It's a big plus too that their sizing for certain styles like this one runs small because the size 5, which is my usu…
